songwriter Tostrup re records "Asshole" in NorwegianFrom:Frank Albin Tostrup
to Kiss
Related Recordings (by email)In 2004 I let Gene Simmons use my song "Asshole".
As everybody now knows, it ended up as the title track on his 2004
solo album by the same name. This was originally a track that my former band
Shirleys Temple released on EMI Music back in 2001.

My new band -REVOLVER- has now recorded a new version of "Asshole", this time with Norwegian lyrics.
It's now called "Perler For Svin", and is out in Norway on MTG Music.
This because I have always liked the song and feel that it deserves a new chance, and it really works much better in Norwegian.
Revolver will release a full studio album in the spring.
It is produced by Revolver and Robert Hauge, and Trond Holter (Dream Police, Wig Wam) will mix the album.
Revolver has also signed with TNT-drummer Morten 'Diesel' Dahl's booking agency Rcokpartner Entertainment/Norway Rock Agency,
who wil take care of all booking and concerts for the band.

November 25 : Bruce Kulick
European release of “BK3” on FrontiersFrom:Frontiers
Records
Frontiers Records proudly announces the signing of Bruce Kulick for the European release of “BK3” - his third solo album - on January 29th 2010.

Kulick, who first gained notoriety as a member of Meat Loaf's “Bat Out Of Hell” touring band, may be best known for his twelve years (1984-1996) as lead guitarist of KISS, during which time he appeared on nine gold, two platinum and one multi-platinum KISS albums. It is, however, the wealth of experience he has gained in his 13 post-KISS years that shines through on
“BK3”.

The album takes listeners for quite a ride over its twelve songs... from the frenetic and anger-fuelled "Fate" (co-written by Kevin Churko, known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne), to the philosophical and uplifting "Life". Never one to mind sharing the spotlight with other talented musicians, Kulick invited several guest artists to appear on “BK3”, including Gene Simmons of KISS on the anthemic "Ain't Gonna Die", Doug Fieger (lead vocalist of The Knack) on the soon-to-be pop classic "Dirty Girl", Tobias Sammett (Edguy, Avantasia) and Eric Singer (KISS) on the fierce "I'm The Animal", Nick Simmons (son of Gene) on "Hand of the King", former Union cohort John Corabi on the moody "No Friend Of Mine" and guitar legend Steve Lukather (Toto) on the exciting instrumental "Between The Lines."

In the works for nearly six years and produced by Jeremy Rubolino, “BK3” delivers explosive hard rock arrangements and addictive pop melodies that
honors both Kulick's singular past and bright future. "Many albums lack cohesion with different vocalists, but I know that my guitar playing is the glue on BK3," Kulick says. "There was the clear goal of making absolutely the best record that I could put together. I feel like this is my Revenge."

Rockpages.gr: How did you get to work with Vinnie Vincent in the first place? How did you guys meet?

Robert Fleischman: Vinnie called me up one day through a mutual friend that had told him about me. We got together in my home/studio. Vinnie played me some demos he was working on, and we wrote a song together. I think the song was “Do You Wanna Make Love”. We were discussing continuing our work when he received the offer to join Kiss. After he left KISS, he came back to me and we went into a recording studio and did about 4 more songs.
